Saw that in an e-mail from Henry. Nice, but you're right, a little pricey.

[Vaquero]

Twice as much as a regular one.
Nope.
I don't think so.

I hear ya, but I'd really like to have one in 45 colt though.

Love the looks of that style rifle. I ended up buying a Uberti rifle that style. I got rid of it quickly. I believe I bought the Uberti because I could get it in 45 Colt. It was not a joy to shoot though. It was so heavy and cumbersome with that magazine feed tube. Beautiful just really not very handy or practicle. I guess you really don't buy it to shoot, but of course I shoot everything that I buy. I traded it on a newer Marlin 1894 in 357 Magnum I believe, that rifle is a fun great shooter. Did not last long at my LGS that's for sure. To me that is a commemorative that Henry is like the Winchester company. They just make way to many of those

[Vaquero]

Agreed js, on the too darn many, and like you said about Winchester.
And they won't increase in value very fast if any.

Like you I shoot mine.
I do have a Marlin Cowboy and a Rossi both with the 20" barrels, along with a pair of Ruger revolvers.
I was looking for one of the 24" Cowboys, but found a fair deal on the one I have.
And it is already worth more than I paid.

I love my 1860...

Generally speaking collector designed items aren’t very collectible. I was antique shopping today and saw some beat up old metal lunch boxes from the 50’s going for $80 to $100. No one thought they would ever be worth anything and most kids abused them.

So are these rifles going to be worth a hundred times the selling price in 70 years?

Nice looking rifle, I'll pass. Way too pricey for me.

[RanchRoper]

Not sure I'd want one, and many years from now someone will wonder why they made a rifle with a picture of Jim Henson on it.

[Headhog]

That's one beautiful rifle, but priced a little out of my league. Based on the MSRP I'd say about 4 times what I'm willing to put out. Then again I shouldn't talk about price, I have 2 Les Baer 1911's that I have that much tied up in. Will they ever be worth what I paid? Maybe long after I'm gone.

I guess if that's what you want - go for it. Because if you don't spend your money someone else will.

I'm thinking that 10-20 years from now you will be lucky to get what you paid for them. Not just Henry, but Winchester's also. Like the 1873 Trapper Grade I Limited Series that they were just selling for $1,600 (msrp), or the grade IV for $2,000 (msrp)

If you buy one of those Winnies, don't shoot it or you will reduce its value.
But then, unless you own a museum, what good is a $2,000 wall hanger.
